Two new trademarks have been filed in Europe by The Pokémon Company International: “Pokken Fighters” and “Pokken Tournament”. The Pokémon Company registered the same two trademarks in North America last year. This has lead some to speculate that a Pokémon fighting game is being developed for Wii U. While a fighting game is a possibility, the trademark in question covers a wide range of uses and possibilities.

Board games; Electronic game equipment for playing video games in the nature of hand held units for playing electronic games; Game cards; Plush dolls; Manipulative puzzles; Toy action figures; Video game machines for use with external display screen or monitor; Arcade game machines; Trading card games.

The mention of NFC technology is especially interesting, since Nintendo has utilized the Wii U feature before in the downloadable title Pokémon Rumble U. Nintendo also has four confirmed Pokémon fighters in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS: Pikachu, Lucario, Charizard, and Greninja. With E3 just around the corner, it will be interesting to see if either Pokken Fighters or Pokken Tournament will make an appearance.

My name is Andrew Mathieu. I'm a college student and I work part-time in my home state of Connecticut. I'm working towards being a writing and host three blogs on WordPress about animation, comic books, and video games. I hope to one day be able to write comic books and voice my opinions about my favorite fields of entertainment.

A pokemon fighting game would be great. Since Gen 3 I’ve been wanting it. And if the game allows me to play as Hitmontop it will be the best fighting game ever, let’s just hope that Nintendo focuses more on a good fighting game that is easy to pick and play butr hard to master(like King of FIghters).
